  • Nine species of genus Ganoderma collected in Korea and abroad including Ganoderma lucidum complex and G. lucidum were compared by investigating growth characteristics. In the bottle culture, the mycelial growth periods of G. lucidum from Taiwan and North America was 26 to 30 days compared to that of Korean G. lucidum, which was 30 to 32 days. Cultivation period of Taiwan and North American isolates was 30 to 32 days which were 11 to 17 days shorter than those of Korean isolates. Biological efficiency of Taiwan and North American isolates were ranged from 3.3 to 5.5%, which were apparently lower than that of Korean isolates which ranged from 6.2 to 9.4%. Korean isolates had longer stipes($15{\sim}40$ mm) and more number of pileus($4{\sim}6$/bottle) than those of Taiwan and North American isolates. The G. lucidum isolates collected from Korea will be regarded as the independent species from the G. lucidum collected from Taiwan and North America since, the G. lucidum from Korea showed much different growth characteristics in various aspects compared to the G. lucidum from Taiwan and North America.

  • This study was carried out to Investigate the effects of Panax ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum extract and crude polysaccharide of G. lucidum on the growth of lactic acid bacteria. p. ginseng extract contained 60.7% carbohydrate and 27.5% protein, whereas G. lucidum contained 35.9% carbohydrate and 46.3% protein. The total sugar and protein content of crude polysaccharide of G. lucidum were 47.2% and 15.2%, respectively. Two amino acids(hg, Trp) were detected in p. ginseng extract and 11 amino acids (hg, Trp, Ua, Lys, Ser, etc.) in C. lucidum extract. By the addition of p. ginseng, 5. lucidum extract and crude polysaccharide, the cia. p. ginseng was more effective on the growth of 1. casei an: G. lucidum was more effective on that of S. thermophilus. The effect of free amino acids on the growth of tactic acid bacteria was also examined. Arginine and lysine stimulated the growth of L. casei, whereas Lysine, serine, arginine, and glutamic acid stimulated the growth of 5. thermophilus.

  • Optimum conditions for hydrolysis were investigated to enhance water-solubilities of protein-bound polysaccharides in the basidiocarps of Ganoderma lucidum by treating chymotrypsin. We also attempted with Ganoderma lucidum residue remaining after extracting hot water-soluble compoents in Ganoderma lucidum. After hydrolyzing under optimum conditions (20 ppm chymotrypsin, 2% Gampderma lucidum or 6% Ganoderma lucidum residue, at pH 10 and at $ 40^{\circ}C$), the amounts of total protein and carbohydrate of hydrolysate were measured. Michaelis constant, $K_{m}$, and maximum rate, $V_{max}$, calculated by Lineweaver-Buck plot for the hydrolysis of Ganoderma lucidum were 1.73% and 0.073%/min respectively and those for hydrolysis of Ganoderma lucidum residue were 2.40% and 0.033%/min respectively. The amount of polysaccharide isolated from Ganoderma lucidum (100 g) treated with chymotrypsin was only 3.07 g, but significantly increased amount (14.34 g) of polysaccharides was isolated from Ganoderma lucidum residue (100 g) treated with chymotrypsin. The protein-bound polysaccharide was isolated from the non-hydrolyzed and hydrolyzed sample and molecular weights of the polysaccharide were measured by Sepharose CL-48 gel filtration.

  • Nine species of genus Ganoderma different in cultural characteristics each other were separated by histo-anatomical differences. Differences among the species and geographic distribution of G. lucidum were also analyzed to provide the criteria for the classification of Korean cultivation or wild type strains. Korean cultivation and wild type strains were quiet different from other species as well as Taiwan and North American G. lucidum strains in histo-anatomical traits of Ganoderma. Pore color of Korean G. lucidum strains was less brown than those of Taiwan and North American strains. Shapes of pores were round or circular in Korean strains but ellipsoidal or angular in Taiwan or North American strains. Pore numbers of Korean strains were more than those($4{\sim}6/mm$) of Taiwan or North American strains. Hardness of the pileus of Korean strains was much more than that of Taiwan or North American strains. Such characteristics of Korean strains were different from those of other species of Ganoderma. Korean G. lucidum strains could be classified into the other group because they had many different traits in growth characteristics of fruiting bodies and histo-anatomical characteristics from those of Taiwan or North American G. lucidum and other species of G. lucidum complex.

  • Eleven fruit bodies of Ganoderma sp. were collected from eight locations throughout the forest of Kangwon province and Kyunggi province in Korea. The hosts in forest were cut trunks of Quercus dentata, Q. variabilis, Prunus peria and Alnus japonica that was newly surveyed but 5 isolates were collected at the farms of Ganoderma mushroom. Most fruit bodies were formed solitarily on the cut trunks but GS-106 isolate grown in crowds on cut trunk of Alnus japonica. Optimal temperature ranges for isolates of species studied were: G. applanatum $28^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, G. lucidum $28{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, G. neo-japonicum $28^{\circ}C$, and G. tsuage $26^{\circ}C$ and all the species grew slowly at the $32^{\circ}C$. Hamada medium adjusted with pH 5.4 and 6.2 is better than other media for mycelial growth. Mycelial morphological characteristics of six species were studied: G. applanatum, G. lucidum and G. neo-japonicum produced typical type of staghoru hyphae but G. oregonens and G. valeosiacum produced staghoru hyphae with a branch of grape form. Clamp connection was observed on hypha of G. applanatum, G. lucidum, G. oregonense and G. valeosiacum except G. neo-japonicum with node type. Chlamydospore was produced by G. applanatum, G. neo-japonicum. and cuticular cells were present on hyphae of G. lucidum, G. neo-japonicum, G.oregonense and G. tsugae.

  • Ganoderma lucidum has a long history of use as a traditional medicine in Asian countries. However, the taxonomy of Ganoderma species remains controversial, since they were initially classified on the basis of their morphological characteristics. Recently, it was proposed that G. lucidum from China be renamed as G. sichuanense or G. lingzhi. In the present study, phylogenetic analysis using the internal transcribed spacer region rDNA sequences of the Ganoderma species indicated that all strains of the Korean 'G. lucidum' clustered into one group together with G. sichuanense and G. lingzhi from China. However, strains from Europe and North American, which were regarded as true G. lucidum, were positioned in a clearly different group. In addition, the average size of the basidiospores from the Korean cultivated Yeongji strains was similar to that of G. lingzhi. Based on these results, we propose that the Korean cultivated Yeongji strains of 'G. lucidum' should be renamed as G. lingzhi.

  • Sphingolipid production was investigated through Ganoderma lucidum-submerged cultivation. Crude sphingolipid obtained from G. lucidum was purified by methanol precipitation, Dowex AG DW-X8 (H+ form) cation exchange chromatography, and preparative thin layer chromatography, Structure and functionalities of purified sphingolipid were elucidated including cutaneous hydration effect. Possibility of use as cosmetics material and new biomaterial was explored. Production was 0.4 g/L at 1% yield. Purified sphingolipid was identified as D-ribo-1,3,4-trihydroxy-2-aminoocta decan through UV/VIS, FT-IR, and $^1H-NMR$. Sphingolipids increased skinmate value for cutaneous hydration effect by 20% at $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ and decreased skin roughness at $100\;{\mu}g/mL$. Results suggest shingolipids from G. lucidum are effective for cutaneous hydration and improvement of skin roughness.

  • This study was carried out to screen the effective polymeric additives preventing wall growth during mycelial submerged cultivation of Ganoderma. lucidum. Effects of additives on mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide (EPS) production in flask culture and jar fermenter system under 3 different pH processes were investigated, and changes of mycelial morphology were also examined. From flask culture of G. lucidum with additives of different concentrations, 0.1%(w/v) polyacrylic acid was effective for EPS production. As the polyacrylic acid of 0.1%(w/v) was added in medium, wall growth of G. lucidum mycelium grown in jar fermenter system could be protected. The addition of 0.1%(w/v) polyacrylic acid to medium was also improved the mycelial growth and EPS production in the later of submerged culture G. lucidum and no changes of mycelial morphology were observed.

  • Mycelia of Pleurotus ostreatus, Phellinus linteus, Ganoderma lucidum and Lentinus edodes were cultured in the selected cereals to generate functionally active cereals. The optimum water contents for the mycelial growth were 50%(wt/wt) for brown rice, barley and soybean and 75% for wheat and corn, respectively. P. ostreatus grew well in the most cereals while the mycelial growth of P. linteus, G. lucidum and L. edodes in soybean were siginificantly retarded. The contents of β-glucan and glucosamine in the mycelial cereals were determined. Wheat cultured with mushroom mycelia showed high ß-glucan content. Especially, wheat with G. lucidum contained the highest value of 26.16%. Soybean cultured with G. lucidum showed two-fold increase in glucosamine content with 9.63% of total mass while wheat showed 7.91%. Overall, wheat cultured with G. lucidum was the best functional cereal in terms of β-glucan and glucosamine contents.
